Whether the people of Laurens County vote against the dispensary or in favor of prohibition does not matter, the result will be the same, they will arrive at the same point. The only way to vote against prohibition this year is to vote for State dispensary candidates. The people of Laurens understand by this time that as long as the state dispensary remains, ways will be found to defeat their will. The attempt to vote out the dispensaries under the Brice Law has so far failed. Why? To our mind, the firafc tiling to do is to cut out the sore. The State Dispen sary is the sore. It is the seat of the disease. Once it is gone, the people of Laurens County will be free and inde pendent to vote for prohibition or for the establishment of a county dispen sary. The prohibitionists of Laurens can beat the dispensary advocates of Laurens easier than they can beat these dispensary advocates backed by the State dispensary, backed by the men hired by the State Dispensary, backed by the lawyers in the pay of the State dispensary and the whole bunch backed by the Richland Distilling Company, J backed by large financial interests in Columbia drawing great revenues from the State Dispensary and the colossal whiskey interest of the United States! at the back of it all. No, in Tuf. Advertiser's opinion, the issue is between honesty and dis honesty. We wish the State Dispensary j abolished so that bribery shall no longer be considered respectable in South Carolina, so that defaulters may be scorned of good men, so that the State shall no more be degraded, so that a man who steals from the State shall be called a thief. If you are a prohibitionist and vote for the Stale dispensary, you vote that the liquor men shall tie your hands. Ansel and Jones are prohibitionists and they are striking first at the throat of the State dispensary because it is pro hibition's worst enemy. * FOR LOCAL OPTION. The Advertiser is for local option. It believes that prohibition can be en forced in Laurens County. It believes that there is no hope for prohibition in Laurens while the State Dispensary lasts. With the State concern gone, we can have prohibition. We have reached the straight, unqualified con clusion that prohibition is the best thing for Laurens. Therefore we pledge The Adver TISEa, if the State Dispensary is abol ished, to stand for prohibition against county dispensaries, against bar-rooms, against "tigers," against high license and against any form, manner, method or means of liquor selling that the de vil can contrive for Laurens as long as the people show a disposition to en force it fairly well, as well as it is now enforced in Spartanburg, Anderson, Cherokee or any other county that has expelled liquor under the Brice law or as well as it is enforced in Marlboro which has had prohibition nearly sixty years. And more, Tin-: ADVERTISER will stand for prohibition after its peo ple vote for it no less than before; it will summon ill its powers to create, maintain and support sentiment in favor of its vigorous enforcement and senti ment that will cause the punishment of those who violate; the prohibition law. But the reasons arc commanding that the honest men who want liquor sold in Laurens sho ild vote against the State Dispensary; because whether we have liquor or not, we should not have graft. If most of the honest men in Laurens want dispensaries, let them vote for dispensaries which they can run them selves and let them step up to the rack, fodder or no fodder, run an independent county dispensary and accept the re sponsibility for it! Why vote for a so-called State dis pensary which is the servant, tin; agent, the criminal instrument of the liquor interests of the Uniu 1 States chiefly outside of South Carolina? * TILLMAN OPPOSES BLEASE. Senator Tillman's speech at Sandy Flat, Greenville County, Saturday, was a repetition of his dispensary speeches last summer. It was the ablest defence possible; of the Raysor-Manning bill as a dispensary purging measure but it was equally a defence of the inde pendent county dispensary if lea be cause the same provisions of the bill that would help the state dispensary could be applied to the county system. The fact that independent county dis pensaries are running satisfactorily in North Carolina and Georgia of course knocks his objections to that system in to a cocked hat. Senator Tillman can no longer be accused of "factionalism;" he is no longer a "Tillmanite. " Without calling names he aevercly denounced the op ponents Of tho Kaysor-Manning bill in the legislature and said they should be "left at home." Senator Cole L. Bl a;e, who opposed the Kaysor-Man ning bill and still opposes :t, is there fore included in the Senator's black list, while Messrs. Sloan, McMa han and Manning are not, though Mr. Manning has always voted for tho "damnable Brice law." Senator Till man practically advises the people to vote for either Sloan, Manning or Mc Mahan and against Blease though Blease alone has been a Reformer and the othr r three have been "Antis." Senator Tillman's speech as printed wa.-i generally decent And free of dem agogy and except in so far as it sup ported the State dispensary contained good advice. We agree with him that Messrs. Manning, Sloan and McMahan are better men to vote for than Mr. Blease; however this is a matter of preference and we are not falling out with anybody who thinks more of Mr. Hleasc. The platform of Mr. A. ('. Jones of New berry is sound and the platform of Mr. M. F. Ansel is also sound enough to stand on. ? THE FACTS IN THE CASE. The esteemed Abbeville Press and Banner, replying to TliK LAURENS Au VERTISER, says that it knows nothing about the Richland Distilling Company. We do. We know that it is owned in the main by whole-sale dealers in whis key who live in Baltimore and other cities outside of South Carolina and that it sold to the State Dispensary about one million dollars worth of liq uor in about one year. The Richland Distilling Company has more at stake in the perpetuation of the State Dis pensary than all other interests com bined, except of course the banded grafters who are its agents. Instead of destroying the whiskey business, the State Dispensary simply took it out of the hands of natives and put it in the hands of outside whiskey dealers. The Press and Banner also says: "Our recollection is that the blind tigers, whiskey guztflers and bat room men of Charleston v jtod for prohibition years ago. We do not expect temper ance reform or good whiskey laws from any city which is dominated by bar rooms and newspapers friendly to their cause.'' The Press and Banner had better not trust to its recollection. The only time I Charleston has ever voted directly on tho prohibition question, in 1892, the vote was overwhelmingly against pro hibition. In 1898 Mr. Featherstone car ried Charleston against Governor El lerbe but less than half the vote of the county was polled (less than 2,000.) At that time, the Metropolitan police sys tem was over the town and Charleston would have voted against any governor who permitted the existence of that outrage. In 1900 there was no metropolitan [ police and the race was between Mr. I McSweeney, dispensary, and the late Col. J. A. Hoyt, prohibitionist, and also an anti-Tillmanite. Charleston voted McSweeney, 3,174, Hoyt, t>7;? -or at the rate of nearly live to one against State prohibition. Furthermore, any rational and intelli gent man in Charleston will tell the Press and Banner that the county is against prohibition now and in favor of the dispensary as between the two. Having innocently but wholly mis stated the facts, let us see whether the Press and Banner will set its read- j ers straight by reprinting this. MR. LYON S WORK. The only possible ground upon which the Raysor-Manning bill can he de fended is tnat the dispensary is cor rupt. If the dispensary is not corrupt, the bill is not needed and no one friendly I to the dispensary would venture to in sist upon its passage. If the dispensary is corrupt, how do j we know it? Principally tlnough the j efforts of Messrs. Lyon and Christensen of the investigating committee. Every body will admit that, we suppose. If then the friends of the Raysor ; Manning bill who favor a reformed dis pensary have anything whatever upon 'which they can "go before the coun ! try" it has been furnished by Messrs. Lyon and Christensen. If any man wishes sincerely to purge and save the dispensary, has he not ' more to hope for in the way of assist ance from Frazer Lyon as attorney general than he has from any other I lawyer in South Carolina? What other lawyer so well understands the dispen ' sary's weak spots or has so fully shown the courage necessary to deal with . them? It is clear that the services of Mr. Lyon as attorney general would be es pecially valuable to the administration of any gentleman who may be elected ! Governor and who wishes thieves lashed out of the dispensary. H BUT THE TAXES ARE CERTAIN. The following from the Anderson j Mail is respectfully referred to all who may be interested: "A little while since the people of I several sections were trying to get new counties organised in Georgia. Now it I is said that the people of DeKalb county I are so badly divided on the question of road improvement that a movement is on foot to partition the county between the counties of Fulton, Rockdale and Gwinotte and thus wipe DeKalb county ofT the map. The people do not always get the advantages promised from smaller counties. Higher taxes usually result, and without tho corresponding benefits.'.' ? Of course you'll hear things about Frazer Lyon -there'll be no end to the stories told about him. If you'll watch you can trace most of them to source which have figured in the exposures which Lyon has caused. The Columbia Record against Lyon? If Lyon had brought out evidence that the adver tiser had endeavored to induce men engaged in stilling whiskey to tho State Dispensary to take stock in The Ad vertiser Company, we have no doubt that The Advertiser would be loyal to its friends and would declare war on Lyon to the knife and the knife to the hilt. Such was the evidence about The Record, and we are passing no opinion now upon the propriety of The Record's conduct, but it is clear as day that The Record is true to its whiskey friends and against its friends' enemy. * Mr. Lumpkin, who has been de scribed as the "candidate of the rail roads" has withdrawn. Let us hope that the "railroads" have not taken him down because they think tho other man suits their purposes better. We believe that Senator Tilhnan has had in free passes the full equivalent of Lump kin's salary from the railroads ever since he has been in the United States Senate. Beats the Music Cure.

Much excited comment was aroused all over the state when it was an nounced that James Tolbert had been appointed postmaster at Abbeville and the appointment confirmed by the sen ate, lion. I). Wyatt Aiken went on tin- war path as soon as he heard of it. Mr. Hitchcock, assistant postmaster general, assured Senator Ponrose that Mr. Aiken had withdrawn his objection to Mr. Tolbert and on this understand ing Senator Penrose, who was chairman of the committee on postal appoint* ments, presented his nomination for confirmation. When told of Mr. Hitch cock's statement Mr. Aiken said em phatic things about the veracity of the gentleman. Senator Penrose has agreed to withhold the paper from those pre sented for the president's signature, so that Mr. Link will remain in charge of the Abbeville postoffice unless the president makes a recess appointment. Captain Capers who controls Federal appoint ments in this State was in Grcenvill ? Saturday and was inter viewed by a Greenville News reporter. C.,;>t. Capers was asked about the Abbevilie postoffice and the recent nomination of Mr. Tolbert for that place. In reply be said it was neither James nor R. B. Tolbert, as published in some of the papers, but their uncle, Col. Thomas Tolbert, who was postmas ter at Abbeville under President Harri son for four years and who stands well in the community and is highly respected hy everyone. Col. Tolbert is a life-long Republican, it is true, said Capt. Cap ers, but that is one of the best reasons in the world I think why he should be postmaster in this Republican adminis tration. As far as R. H. Tolbert is concerned, he said, I believe him to be a substantial and trustworthy citizen himself and very much abused and mis represented in the public press, but both he and bis brother, Joseph, were willing that their uncle should be ap pointed as the principle involved would be observed, and there could be no earthly objection to the old gentleman's appointment. Especially as his son, James, an honor graduate of Krskine graduate of Krskine College, in this State, could be of great assistance in managing tin; office to the satisfaction of the public and rendering first-class service to the government.

The rain falling ou the rocks sinks into every crack ami crevice, carrying with It into these fissures surface mate rlnl which has been degraded by tu? weather and thus affording a matrix sufficient to start the growth of vege tatiou and afterward to uinlutalu the plants. The libers ami roots of these piuuts, bushes ami trees thus brought into life, growing and expanding, act as wedges to split up the mirfuce of tho rock and to commence the process of wearing awuy. From this Quality of destruction a largo class of plants derive tho name of saxifrages, or rock breakers, from their roots penetrating Into tho minute fissures lu search of water and so assisting lu the process of disintegration. In winter the water collected in the hollows and crevices becomes frozen and, expanding us it changes into ice, acts like a charge of blasting materiul in breaking up the rock. The pieces thus detached be come further disintegrated by frost and weather ami, being rolled over and over and rubbed against each other as they are carried away down the moun tain torrents, are ground gradually smaller und smaller till from frag ments of rock tbey become bowlders, then pebbles and finally Baud. As the mountain stream merges iuto the riv er the pebbles and coarse sand con tinue to be rolled along the bottom of the channel, while the raglllaeeous par ticles aud salts become mingled with the water and How on with it either Id suspension or sotarion. While this disintegrating process Is going ou inland the rocks and cliffs on the const exposed to tho sea are suf fering degradation by a similar proc ess and are also being worn away by the incessant action of the waves of tho ocean beating on them and attack ing them not only with the impact of the water, but also with the fragments broken off, which, dashed against the face from which they have eroded, are thus used as Implements of destruc tion. THE GARDEN OF EDEN. Itn Location n Mxatery That Will I'rohnhly Never Be SoWed. The location of the earthly paradise or garden of Edeu is still a matter of dispute among orientalists and Scriptu ral scholars of lischest reputation. Some have endeavored to locate it by the fruits and mineral productions named iu tho ltlblical descriptions as tbey ap pear In tho second chapter of Genesis; others by the rivers mentioned lu verses 11 to 14 of tho above mentioned chapter. Tho weight of Investigation and tradition Inclines to nn agreement that the Tigris and the Euphrates of modern geography are the third and fourth rivers mentioned In the Biblical description of the garden. Those who agree so far differ widely as to what rivers should now bo regarded as tho ancient l'lson and Qihou. Tho Bud dhistic scholars, although they reject our Bible iu the greater part, ineline to the opinion that the Pison is the sacred Ganges, and that tho Glhon Is none other than the Nile. As to the last, It Is altogether probable that they are correct ou that point, because tho Bibli cal account plainly says that Glhon j "compasscth the whole land of Ethl | opla." Some Investigations confirm that Eden was a spot of comparatively ! small area located ou Hie tablelands of what, is now Armenia, from which rise the Tigris and the Euphrates. A few scholars of distinction argue that the Adamlc paradise was located In Africa In the vicinity of the mountains of the Moon. Still another school of oriental ists locate the celebrated garden In tho vicinity of the ancient city of Babylon. You will notice, however, that none Of these theorists lias beeu able to get the four rivers meiUioued In the Bib lical account properly located. Neither have they found a place where one great river "separates into four beads." This being the case, It. Is hardly neces sai^v to add that tho exact location of Eden Is a mystery that wHI probably never be solved. The Scott of the ?11.1.lie Anon, John Florissant, born lu 1837, is call ed the Walter Scott of the middle ages. He was a churchman and a scholar. Living as he did la unsettled times, be fore nationality had become well de veloped, he was destitute of patriotism and, therefore, inoro reliable as a cos mopolitan chronicler. He traveled In Franco, Scotland, Italy nnd other coun tries. Ills chronicles are the result of his own observations and are valued as a faithful portrayal of the places, cus toms and manners of the people during his time, although not so reliable as his tory. The Word "Opera." The word "opera" Is a ease of verbal specialisation. Yet the Latin word Hieant originally nothing more definite than "work." The specialization, how ever, was thorough even In the time of Dryden, who defined on opera as "a poetical tale of fiction, represented by verbal and Instrumental mtislck, adorn ed with scenes, machines nnd dnnclng," but the specialization Is scarcely moro remarkable than that of "drama,*1 which means Just "deed," "action," or of "poet," which Is simply "maker."
